While nothing has been finalized, it appears that URI coach Dan Hurley will fill the spot on his coaching staff vacated by his brother, Bobby, with Towson assistant coach Luke Murray.

Murray worked with Hurley at Wagner College before joining former URI and Providence assistant coach Pat Skerry with Towson. Murray is regarded as a rising star in the business thanks to his recruiting ties in the East and Skerry confirmed that he's losing him to URI.

"Luke has done a good job for us. We're sorry to see him go," Skerry said. "He will hustle in recruiting, for sure. He obviously knows Dan from his time at Wagner so it was tough to keep him here. He'll do a good job for (URI).

Murray, a Fairfield graduate, is the son of famed comedian/movie star Bill Murray. Skerry said Bill Murray attended several Towson games over the last two years.

URI did announce Monday that its season ticket holder Appreciation Party with Hurley and his staff at Rhody Joe's scheduled for May 22 has officially sold out. The URI Athletic Department is currently accepting names for a waiting list for the event.
